Crochet projects with one skein means anything realistically finished using 170 to 220 yards, the standard range for a single skein of worsted weight yarn. This yardage is a useful planning number when working from a single pretty skein with no set plan yet. This guide gives a quick reference.
Quick Reference
A beanie, cowl, or market tote all fit comfortably inside one standard skein with room to spare. Anything needing more than about 250 yards, like a full adult scarf, typically needs a second skein.
